Talk:زرنب

Could be from Middle Iranian *zarn-ēb. The second part perhaps cognate with English "yew". Compare Persian یب (yab, “arrow”). --Simichka (talk) 07:56, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

@Simichka: Irman’s ghost, while I know that yews have been used to make arrows, how are this Arabic word and a random Persian word for arrow the best examples for a cognate to the Germanic words for the yew, and why do we lack Persian translations under yew yet? I do not see any etymology yet I like. Fay Freak (talk) 13:06, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
